I have ibs and cannot take nsaids. what is best for occasional pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: For occasional pain acetaminophen should be safe. Although you can not take an NSAID, you might want to try Feverfew which is a herbal with anti-inflammatory properties. Typically pain from IBS is due to spasticity of bowel. Have you tried anti-spasmodic?
